Best Apprehension Poems

It is beyond my apprehension when I think of you
I know you are illegitimate but I thought you could draw too
The bondage between mother and child will never ever be broken
Listen well my son to the few words I have just spoken

Illiteracy it’s not your...

Dissension, Apprehension, Decision

Must make decision;
If there is apprehension
Will have dissension.

This is what happens between 
and among the ranks. Jim Horn...

My life, my apprehension        		

	(1)	Quietly, into this life, I came in creeping 
		The life my mother gave me, 74 years ago, 
		As a John Doe, while the whole world was sleeping,
		Doing good deeds to the society, & becoming...

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
   Manifests uncertainty.
   Stark staring eyes gaze fearfully.
   Only heartbeats, and the ticking clock
   Break silence; then as a whistle blows
   Each mask unfurls in victory.

Anticipation
Pending elation
Past impressions
Rogue confessions
Evoke restraint,
Hovering fear
Every time you are near
Newly made perceptions
Silent misconceptions
Inner hesitation
Over wrought sensation
Never-ending elation....

For I grew weary of my life I went as drifting water,
and flowed only to the lower land to see the world open to the main, however, since drifting water is no one but my own, the world within me is troublesome as before.

For I...

I ask, "Am I so unsightly?"
From where I sit I see
Surrounded by this nightly
On the verge of misery
And closer still are those
Who say I am, not beautiful
But neither am I ghastly
To think oneself as suitable
I'm ill advised, but lastly,
Should readiness to tell me lies

Apprehension Appears

We were trying to define each dimension,
Used in measuring all the apprehension,
But did forget,
When we met,
Along with dissension that caused tension.

Pulse races,  palms sweat
Anxiety levels rise
Mind mixed, thoughts fixed
May be in disguise. 
Stomach churns
Nauseate
Can’t wait anymore  
need to know
Need to see
Behind that door...

Pretention is a claim or an assertion 
of a claim to or about something.
Use of affection to impress; ostentatiousness.

Maybe he had made another pretention;
When done was with much apprehension;
Rather obscure,
Not very sure,
And all of this did depend upon intention.

Live the rest of your life in apprehension and you're already dead,
What's the point of going on with thoughts of fear and dread?

Seems like that's the way most of us live,
always ready to take rather than give.

If you're so strong then why do you give...

Can you master the long maze,

the twists and 	turns in the haze, shapes and deceptions that daze?
			Life has tiny cuts and blocks,
							passages under
	keys and locks.		Daring to escape
	 						this shallow box.
Love too, 		is caught in the blight		
					with whether it is, 	or isn’t it right.
	It either surprises...

Faith
Believe, trust
Hoping, expecting, presuming
Relationships, promises, doubt, dread
Questioning, mistrusting, hesitating
Apprehensive, anxious
Fear
